Rehabilitation

Of past lives gone
To wish them away
Awakening to a better day
A cleansing of hate
And anger and crime
The new life is born
Migration of time

Dark Essence

Darkness whispers
To a sullen state
Pulling a vision from within
Forcing more silence
Beating a reticent drum
Thoughtful confinement
Responding in kind
Beyond the door lies
A creative mind

Closer to Her

To control destiny
And find a place
He looks her over
Sleeping grace
He imagines Heaven
A breeze through a willow
To long for reincarnation
He would be her pillow

Colorless

To lofting winds and shallow puddles
Winding through time and substance
A man softly hovers
Unaware of the winter chill
Against himself he huddles
The seasons blend and fall in line
The animals forage for life
As coldness whips the air
Thoughts of long past lovers
And darkness falls upon the land
It has only just started
Before the clearing snowfall passes
And colors have departed
A settling calm weaves upon us
We awaken to a new warmth
Having made it to yet another day.

Encounters Past

To see the years slip ever faster
Once upon a time
And as I had now wandered past her
Scent awakening my mind
To once a beautiful encounter
Moves by without a glimpse
And leaves me silent staring lonely
Shift in time with just a hint
Of what it was
And what it isn't
And what it shall not
Be again

Endeavor Defeated

Of elusive pursuits
That often slip away
Chasing after them
So much to say
Freedom escapes
Upon each open door
Enemies focus
And dreams are no more

Found Love

A lonely alley awaits
The struggling thoughts
She wonders as she seeks
A path to reach her calm
Quiet in her peacefulness
Dreaming
A new love will come
One with tenderness
For her to submit
And finally allow herself
To be the fruit
Of his conquer

Talisman

For all I have accomplished
And all of which I've failed
To end up where I am today
From where I have been
I question of where I was put
Could it have been
This rabbit's foot?

Falling Up

From where I have been
To where I aspire
And where I am now
I will not retire
To reach my unlimited
Goals of my ascent
Where only the top
Could end any descent

Into The Light

To a place that knows me well
We meet among the pines
Where once my weary body dwell
Behind the structured lines
We settle down upon the log
And dream of anguished times
A quiet man; a lonely dog
A sharing of the rhymes
Envisioning the darkness
Of cloudy memories past
Rejoice together peace at last
And exit from the fog

All Along

For as long as time
Has my world been cursed
Searching for the one
To quench my thirst
In the alleys beyond
And pastures before me
Through spaces I have gone
Unable to see
When all along present
I failed to envision
What has come to me last
Was where I was brought
Upon first.

One Chance

How I have fallen
With just one glance
Our eyes meet softly
The spark ignites
We venture madly
To seal our night
Cornered by circumstance
Devoid of light
In silence I revel
Given just one chance
To live the love
Of this perfect romance

Blue Darkness

Through tears of painful burning
A fog of pepper mists
Swirling in the hot night
Among cries of helplessness
Blurred vision not returning
To see the blue through darkness
And quenching thirsty yearnings
I learn to love the taste
Of what was once a weapon
Whose anger now erased

Escape

Again I find myself among the mire
Deep within the jungle as darkness settles
Dampness thick in the air
A lone man pedals
Alarms sound wildly as I go
Stench of garbage flows
Dim lights glare
Shadows long and ominous
But for nothing there
And grueling hatred follows
A man who flees his past
He slithers through a puddle
Strewn with broken glass
Focused on his ends
Hoping on all hope
To find the final glory
Untie his binding rope
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

But...

Pushed aside unconsidered
Kept in silence alone
But for a word given
And not allow me to speak
I sit in quiet solitude
Beaten down and weak
For all I have to offer
Disregarded for others driven
I wait my turn in earnest
Beneath this box I live in
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Visions

Pressing past my past

Envisioning what's to come
To feel the new beauty
And hope for it to last
I see so many futures
Yet I am troubled by the pain
That comes from simple living
In efforts yet to gain
But beyond the many failures
Come peace from up above
And save us from our hateful lives
With small tokens of love
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Dictionarily Challenged

I wander alone among the unknown
Seeking the meaning of what is not shown
Have I stumbled upon something anew
Known by only a few unable to view
Shall I summon a source literary dark horse
Found purely by force on a twisted course
Refer to the guide as I take this short ride
Reveal this new side attempting to hide
Needing this release I call the police
Search for my peace hoping to cease
Open the book to have a good look
Wondering aloud
Copse?

Word Justice

Enter a world where
Nothing is known
And words thrown out
meaningless
For simplest of things
Are best to describe
Actions shown
Leaving no doubt
Not forced confusion
Or subtle black ops
Don't make me have to
Call the copse
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Impending Freedom

Waves of peace roll over
The end of pain in sight
An entrance to a new world
Freedom from this fight
A sea of life before me
An ocean of hate behind
At tunnels end I see my light
I've searched but now I find
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Destiny

To see what is ours
But not to reach
To hold fast the dreams
We struggle with fate
And hope it is kind
Our youth we will teach
Their peace we should find
Erase all the hate
Through the windows
Of the mind.
